Hi.

I am going to be implementing a group policy where if a
users pc is unattended for at least 30 min, the
screensaver lockout policy will lock their workstation
and that they will have to log back in after it has taken
affect. But my question is this:
If it locks the user out, and if the user has processes
running in the background, applications open,
applications that chamge pages, will they get affected? I
really don't want to apply this policy and have a machine
stop running these apps and processes when it locks out
the person.

Could somebody please give me some insight to this, as I
would like to do this today.

Thanks much

Craig
